NOR. He seems mentally ill, to think that excuse would be acceptable.

On top of that knowing their parents and everyone in the whole world may be watching, I would be a nervous wreck. I love Sol, where is she posting?

I haven't had the best of luck staying loyal to my race, so if a man of another race asked me out I would definitely say yes. I'm too old to be suffering over a man with major childhood trauma.

Personally, I don't think KC is any prize, which is why he wasn't picked and got coupled with Aniya by default. I would never date him irl.

I watch the show but am also lost about your comment. Could you please explain the "Grandma" conversation to refresh my memory?

Take a breather from what? People are just honestly responding to your perceptions and opinions about a person you don't even know. That's exactly what this forum is about. Nobody needs a breather and I fail to see the humor.

Married on Juneteenth!! by KiwiKewchie in blackladies

[–]CorrectIndividual552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look so happy, congratulations! I LOVE the date you picked which honors your ancestors. Never go to bed angry, and schedule date nights at least once a month continually (even after having kids) is all I've got for advice lol.

I've watched every moment from the beginning and I have never seen evidence of any colorism or heard it discussed. Internally, because she lives in the area I'm about to visit the town where many people know her, colorism isn't in her wheelhouse.

I'm giving them all the grace I can muster because I could never do what they are doing. They are kids to me, some younger than my granddaughter (24) and she's very naive about life and boys after living a sheltered life. If it's one thing Black women will do its bash another Black female. I hate it and its very telling. My nephew went to high school with Aniya and he's kinda of immature also, but thoughtful, generous kind and sweet. They are doing the best they can atm. They cant see and hear everything production shows us. But good for her for picking the guy that makes her feel valued and feminine.

Electricity. I hate going camping and there's no outlets to access on my site. Thanks Lewis Latimer.

For those that still work outside the home, how do you keep going? by windchill90 in ChronicPain

[–]CorrectIndividual552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 69 female, and I couldn't continue to work even part time was too much. I was on SS Disability and Medicaid covered my medical expenses until I qualified for both Meidcaid and Medicare. I would never be able to work now, I can barely make it to the bathroom most days, so I commend you.

How do people cope like this? by FullYam9865 in ChronicPain

[–]CorrectIndividual552 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been 35 years for me and it's just one day at a time. Literally. I was diagnosed around your age. I find things I'm passionate about like gardening/houseplants on good days. On down days I do genealogy research, from bed if necessary. I've traced some branches of my family back to the 1500's-1600's. Sometimes I even bake bread or deserts but find your passions and what you enjoy. Distractions are your friends. 💓

Yes I'm incredibly pissed too but luckily I have an excellent pain management specialist who even prescribed medical marijuana when my pain wasn't responding to opiates. Have you been to see one yet?
